When Hurricane Ike hit Texas, he devastated more than just those cities near the gulf. The effects were far reaching. From Texas to Ohio, he left his mark.
People are returning to Galveston today. There city looks like a war zone. They have no power, no water, lots of mold and debris. Here in Northwest Indiana we are still suffering too. Not as bad as Galveston but the effects of the hurricane lingers on today.
I work at IUN. The school has been closed since September and will be closed at least until September 28th. The parking lot is a flood of unhealthy stagnant water and breeding ground for mosquitoes. Most of the school buildings have been compromised in one way or another. Even after the water recedes, there will be health and sanitary concerns.
At first, I was happy for the break but now I'm ready to get back to work. I'm also wondering if I should begin looking to relocate. It's scary. Add to that the debacle on Wall Street and life seems very uncertain here on Main Street.
